Discussed Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Marvel’s Most Wanted already, and what’s come out sicne about the former feels overshadowed by that, but looking at the other news since that synopsis turned the future prospects upside down:
Someone needs to give James D’Arcy an Emmy. But it seems unlikely, when none of the cast of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or Agent Carter can even manage a Saturn nomination. (Seriously, Iain or Liz would’ve definitely been worthy).
If you are going to ignore an internet campaign and cast some blonde dude as a character who really was a very appropriate character for racebending, if only to offset the Orientalism in his story(and when they’ve been doing Dr. Strange already too), maybe don’t announce it on the day you drop a Daredevil trailer. You’re leaving your audiences too depressed to enjoy the trailer properly. Should’ve waited a day. (Or better yet, listened…)
Elektra comes off a little better when she get some more screentime, but I’m still a little uneasy.
Besides, everyone knows no relationship is more important than the Matt/Foggy bromance. The hardest-hitting parts of this new trailer were when they were arguing. Which raised the interesting question of is it going to be as bad as the trailer implies, or are they just playing that up because they know that hits the feels? The series being what it is, it could go either way…
Speaking of bromances on the rocks, maybe no moment is more impactful than when Peggy yells at Jarvis, though, as usual, she’s pretty much right. Poor Peggy will never meet a man that doesn’t get it dead wrong at some point and have to be yelled at.
Neither of those two men she’s got a choice of are really worthy of her. Maybe the only man who ever was is the one stuck under the ice.
Indeed, maybe it says something that for a song about choosing between two men, there was definitely a homoerotic vibe going on in that number with Angie singing to Peggy. Dottie establishing herself as always in Peggy’s head doesn’t exactly help with that either.
